Hi ,I have a 3d geometry imported in paraview ,will it be possible to save the geometry as 360degree image along with velocity distribution inside the volume,so that i can directly rotate the image in 3D viewer with out opening the paraview.

any help would be appreciated

What do you mean by a 360 degree image ? Which 3D viewer are you using ?

Hi Mathieu,  
Thank you for the response,i would like to generate 360degree image of my geometry(fluid domain) along with the streamline distribution inside the fluid domain,then i can directly open the 360degree image i have created in windows 3Dviewer and rotate the image and see the streamlines without opening the paraview.is it possible in paraview to generate such an image.

Best regards

Which format of 360 degree image does the Windows 3D viewer supports ?

Did you consider using a glTF file instead ?
